| Modern Wing Restaurant Gets Executive Chef |
|
In May, a 140-seat restaurant will open in the Art Institute of Chicago's modern wing, a still-unfinished structure that recently hosted its first event.
The museum announced on Friday that Tony Mantuano, a James Beard Award winner and a chef and partner at Spiaggia—currently gaining national publicity as Barack and Michelle Obama's favorite date-night restaurant—will serve as the new restaurant's executive chef. Mantuano will develop a menu that incorporates local ingredients and plays off the venue's Italian-Mediterranean theme.
The restaurant, which has yet to be named, will overlook Millennium Park and Michigan Avenue from the Modern Wing's third floor. Details on private dining have yet to be revealed.
